The BJP has hit back strongly at Rahul Gandhi after his recent remarks on Indian democracy during a speech abroad. Terming his statements as anti-India and baseless, the BJP accused Rahul of repeatedly berating the country on foreign soil. The party also reignited the "China-Congress" charge, alleging that Rahul's comments reflect a soft spot for China. BJP leaders asserted that India's democratic institutions are robust and thriving under Prime Minister Modi's leadership.
